Photography: This Year's Cotton Crop

Image
These are some photos I took on the way to North Carolina two weeks ago. I love taking pictures of cotton. It's part of my heritage and who I am. Many of us (white and black Americans) would like to forget about the not so distant past when African Americans were slaves in this country, but it's difficult for me to forget because my family never completely left the county our ancestors were enslaved in. Therefore, I celebrate the beauty of that heritage in writing, pictures, and song (when I learn how to play an instrument or sing). *smile* I embrace and love that part of me that touches down deep...deep in my soul. Peace~

Happy Autumn!

Autumn...she has always been my muse. This is an inspirational time of year for me. I think that I associate it with going to school. Nevertheless, it is the time of year when my creativity seems to increase. I wonder what she [Autumn] will give us this year? Tell me, when is your inspiration or creativity at its peak? Maybe your lucky and it's all year round. Maybe it comes in spurts. What's up?
